Need an exotic hors d’oeuvre for the next Friends of the Library reception–Nepalese temple balls, perhaps, or a delicate majoon (a “general term applied to Cannabis Confections,” Clarke reveals)? Just consult this lavishly illustrated compendium of all things Hashish. Appealing to illicit substance consumers and history buffs alike, Clarke traces the hashish story from earliest times to the present and describes traditional methods of collecting marijuana resin and processing the gooey stuff into hashish.
